Superb original circa 1940s Honus Wagner baseball card, 1.75 x 2.75, signed vertically in blue ballpoint, “Honus Wagner, Best Wishes.” Light overall toning and soiling, and a small label affixed to reverse, otherwise fine condition. It seems to be a a scarce, uncataloged issue, as we have been unable to locate any similar examples. Most likely issued while he was a coach for his beloved Pittsburgh Pirates, possibly with candy or as a ballpark giveaway. Original signed baseball cards are quite scarce, and probably the most desirable format after the single-signed baseball. This card is especially interesting as it is a rare issue with Wagner’s Pirates hat clearly visible—something that differentiates it from most of his other baseball cards.
